Shinjuku Gyoen park is the perfect place to view the cherry blossoms. The first time we tried to go, it was closed. We only had an hour the second time we went. And this was taken on the third attempt. But somehow we’d still get lost whenever we tried to go. I’d put it into our GPS and Shinjuku Gyoen sounded like Shinjuku”jail”. I was startled me every time I heard it.

Ok, so all the images are officially being uploaded in random order because this was taken the last night of our trip. This is of Shibuya, you know the place where they have the busiest intersection in the world. At this point, Andrew and I were so tired, full from dinner and just trying to make the most of our last night in Japan. I remember standing on top of this foot bridge and we were reminiscing on memories of the trip and comparing it to our last trip in Europe. At one point he got me laughing so hard, it was difficult to take this long exposure shot. No, I wasn’t on a tripod and was hand holding it. I know, sometimes I can be a noob.

I’m so glad I brought my winter jacket to Japan because it was cold most of the time we were there. Cloudy, windy with some rain off and on. I think the clouds made for better images but the most disappointing part about it was that the cherry blossoms weren’t blooming like I thought they’d be. The tree on the left was one of the most beautiful trees we saw so I’m glad we still got to see a little sneak peak of them.

On our way home. See you soon DC <3

Loved Zion National Park. We were there for a few days last year because we found this awesome travel deal to Las Vegas. Although I love the city with endless buffets, visiting Zion National Park was something like I’d never experienced before. Hope to go to Utah again soon to see more of the gorgeous state.
